What Scene From 'The Young and the Restless' Did Kristoff St. John Submit For The Emmys?
This year, he is up against his former costar Billy Miller, who portrayed Billy Abbott and General Hospital's Anthony Geary and Jason Thompson.
Last Thursday, LeBlanc revealed to Soap Central that he credits his "co-actors" for how he wins awards and gets nominations.
"I use them and manipulate to my will and win on their good work," he said, adding, "I'm surrounded by the best, so I just stand there and bathe in their glow. I just know where to stand, and they give me these opportunities."
LeBlanc admitted that his onscreen wife Lauren Fenmore Baldwin, who is portrayed by Tracey E. Bregman, is responsible for his nomination.
"So it was me and Tracey Bregman, who plays my wife on the show, and I told her I have cancer, so it was that series of scenes. And it's pretty much just the two of us, the whole show, so thanks, Tracey!"
LeBlanc dished that this particular scene "was already in consideration because it was such an ultimate scene."
"So I definitely remembered it, and other people remembered it, which is always good," he shared.
The Young and the Restless airs on weekdays at 12:30 p.m. ET on CBS.
